The great thing about using scare tactics to get your way is that you don’t need to be rational. In fact, that’s the last thing you want to be. You can just say any damn thing. The more transparently stupid and insane it is, the better. The goal is to stoke fear, after all.
Here’s a perfect example, from an organization formerly devoted to civil liberties:
Pardon my French, but how in the If-You-See-Kay would an abortion ban harm gay people? Does the ACLU know how babies are made?
Not to mention the grimness of the underlying idea: Some babies are just better off dead because their parents aren’t rich, straight, and/or white. Paging Margaret Sanger!
Democrats are mentally ill:
In other words: “Our policies keep making your life worse, which is all the more reason to kill your own children.” First Dems cause a problem, and then they present themselves as the only solution. There’s always some rube out there who’ll fall for it.
Forty-nine Democrats in the Senate just voted to legalize killing babies up until the minute they’re born. And now, having lost the vote, they claim they’re in the majority:
That’s right, Elizabeth Warren just looked a journo in the eye and claimed the minority just happened to get more votes. You’d think Warren would know what a minority is, considering how many decades she claimed to be one.
